Lunar New Years (also known as Chinese New Year, Chunjie, Solnal, Losar, Spring Festival, and Tet) is a festival commonly celebrated in many Asian countries throughout the first new moon in the lunar calendar to the first full moon. Since Lunar New Years is based on the lunar calendar, the exact date of the holiday is slightly varying each year. Family members get red envelopes that contain money, to symbolize good luck for the new year. Since Lunar New Year is a festival, there is a lot of celebrating with dances and fireworks.
